“…9 The radiologic findings due to leaking gel may mask many breast lesions including malignancy; it is very important to diagnose this complication. 10 The migration is commonly seen in the neighborhood soft tissue such as between the pectoral muscle fibers and subpectoral components. 7 Gel migration can be to the parasternal area, the deep site of the chest wall, and lower neck; it can also be to the pelvic area.…”

AQUAfilling® gel has been described as human tissue biocompatible sterile synthetic material. In the literature, there are some cases presenting the complications of gel application. Rupture of implant, leakage, and migration of the gel are the most common complications. The radiologic findings due to gel leaking may mask many breast lesions including malignancy. In this case, the aim was to present the sonographic findings and elastographic features of a histopathologic-proven mucocele-like lesion in breast, due to AQUAfilling® gel injection. This appears to be a rather unique case in the literature.

Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies in women. Along with increasing demands for breast reconstruction, the attention given to the psychological and aesthetic benefits of breast reconstruction has also increased. As breast reconstruction and augmentation demands increase, biomaterials for breast reconstruction are being developed, and the related industry is growing quickly worldwide. Among the various biomaterials used for breast enlargement, breast implants have undergone a remarkable evolution since the 1960s. Despite unsatisfactory results and unexpected complications, research dedicated to achieving an ideal breast implant has progressed. In accordance with attention to tissue engineering, a three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technique for breast tissue regeneration has emerged to overcome the current limitations of breast biomaterials. Along with solid implants, injectable liquid-type fillers are also part of ongoing studies.

“…One of these, marketed as Aquafilling, is a dermal filler initially used for facial contouring and has been used in Europe for breast augmentation since 2008. 6 , 7 This dermal filler is a hydrophilic gel composed of 98% sodium chloride solution (0.9%) and 2% copolyamide. 8 , 9 , 10 In 2018, the label of the product changed to Los Deline (BioTrh, s.r.o., Czech Republic).…”
